I've got ape arms and they wont put my hands where I need them to hold the nuts for the bracket.
I dont want to cut an access hole.
I cant find any stainless toggle bolts online anywhere except concrete anchors.
What other options do I have?

Those rubber things are a recipe for disaster. I used them on my 1503 HT and had three completely fail and one partially enough to be able to save my TM from going in the drink at the jetties.

Motor guide makes a rubber blind mount that work pretty good on fiber glass boats. Me, I tore up my arms and ham sized hand doing the same thing you are.. Good luck

Rivnuts, I've got some but have my doubts of them holding a 60" 24 volt trolling motor.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

I attached a piece of tape sticky side up to the end of a paint stirring stick and held the nut close to the hole and did it by feel with some help. It’s certainly a tedious way to do it but it worked.

Toggles are your friend(s).
How far out of reach?
Is there any hardware (cleat, speaker, nav light,etc) close by you can remove for access?
Really want it through bolted if any way possible.

Accessing through the anchor locker hatch in a 19' Sea Pro Bay Boat. My arms are about 10" too short.
I do have a hole for a removeable bow light but it's 2 1/2" in diameter. I thought about it but foresee a full day of cussing, and bleeding, culminating in dousing the entire thing with boat gas and striking a match if I tried to get something through that to through bolt.
